Overview
- The Bucks, who waived Cam Thomas on Monday before facing the Clippers, converted Pete Nance from a two-way to a guaranteed contract that covers the rest of this season and 2026-27.
- Thomas logged 18 games off the bench for Milwaukee with 16.6 minutes and 10.7 points per game, then saw his role shrink with a three-minute outing on March 14 and consecutive DNP–CDs on March 15 and 17 before a brief return.
- Head coach Doc Rivers called the decision difficult and framed it as a roster choice given the team’s position, adding Thomas could be someone they revisit.
- Because the waiver came after the NBA’s March 1 playoff-eligibility deadline, Thomas can sign elsewhere but cannot appear in the 2026 postseason for any team.
- The quick reversal followed early public praise, with GM Jon Horst pitching Thomas as part of the Bucks’ future and Rivers comparing his scoring to Lou Williams and Jamal Crawford.
